Default 1968 Topps Posters Repackaged into 1970 Wrapper??

Hi all,

I collect mainly wrappers, but came across this unopened pack that seems very strange to me. It has a 1970 product code and appears to have 2 1968 posters inside? There is no Topps logo on front as it has been replaced with All Star and some of the players in 1968 were retired by 1970. Can anyone shed any light on this or know what markets these were distributed or anything else? I did not see any of these graded by PSA so assume they must be pretty tough?

Thanks Much
Jeff

All 24 players in the 1970 set were still playing to my knowledge, so either that's not from 1970, someone repackaged another year's posters in to a wrapper, or I don't know what. Which players were in there?

Mickey Mantle? There was a 1968 set and a 1972 set. Unless these are 72s, they must be 68s.

The weird thing is, depending on what site you look at, they will show that Topps had posters from 68-73, or 68 and 70, or 68 and 72. I think maybe it's how they were distributed with some years being an insert, some years being a standalone, and some years that were put out only in certain markets.
Either way, for some reason I was never a fan. They always seems fairly thin and easy to rip.

There were 1970 posters, they were an insert in packs of 1970 Topps. However, they were much smaller than the 68 and 72 posters. The packs would be about half the size of those pictured.

Here is a comparison of the 68 wrapper to the 70. These must be a reissue of 68's two years later.

Default Wrappers too.

Hi Jeff, I noticed this thread from awhile back. Tell me about your wrapper collection. Baseball?, football?, all sports? From what years does your collection span? I too collect wrappers, but only baseball. Tom
